                       Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

 


Appellants, FELIPE MENDOZA-BRITO, ET AL., attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 206th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas, in cause number C-044-05-D.  Judgment in this cause was signed on April 20, 2006.  No timely motion for new trial was filed.  Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, appellants= notice of appeal was due on May 22, 2006, but was not filed until May 26, 2006. 

Notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done.  Appellants were advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this Court=s letter, the appeal would be dismissed.  To date, no response has been received from appellants.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellants= failure to timely perfect this appeal, and appellants= failure to respond to this Court=s notice, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.

PER CURIAM
